.NET Framework 4.5 via WSUS

Question

I am trying to get clarification in regards to .net framework being released via WSUS. I have been reading conflicting things online. I have a 2012R2 deployment with WSUS 6.3, and noticing none of my Server 2012 servers have been getting the
4.5 framework. Looking in the console today, it is not even a downloaded update, I synchronized thinking maybe I missed it, the latest framework I see is 3.5 SP1. Could anyone please advise why this is not being downloaded into my WSUS console.
I do not have language packs selected in Classifications, however my understanding this is an "update".

All replies

i'm in the same position. I need to deploy .net 4.5 to 300+ computers so either through wsus or a package deployment through sccm 2012. too much conflicting info online as i'm not seeing it in the wsus console.

Hmmm I did have Update Rollups selected in classifications but it wasn't showing as it does for you. I de-selected it and re-selected it and its showing up now and is also showing the update. thank you very much for your help :-)
